This may be a stupid-newbie-mistake or something, but I installed ghostscript
and gv and when I type at the prompt
% gv /path/to/some/ps/document
gv comes up fine, then gives me an error alert-box that
says "Unknown device: x11"
Indeed, x11 does not seem to be one of the devices known to gs:

so how is gv supposed to work? I can't be the first one to note this and I'm
sure there's something incredibly simple I have to do here somewhere but...
